Monopoly Gets Rid of Jail

Kids these days don't even have enough time for a little stint in jail. The newest version of Hasbro's Monopoly has done away with an iconic part of the game: jail. The new game, Monopoly Empire, allows players to collect big-name companies like McDonald's and Xbox and can be completed in 30 minutes. Apparently, kids are busier today than ever before in history, and board games have been adjusting accordingly. Your loss, children—we older folk know jail builds character.
